Sweet Smelling Swamp
I don’t wanna live forever
I don’t even need to live very long
All I need is you beside me
And your sweet love will keep me strong
We’ll have a house down by the water
Where our kids can run and play
Watching the sun go down on another sweet smelling day
Cause the sweet smelling swamp is near to us
Yeah the sweet smelling swamp is dear to us
It brings pleasure and joy and happiness
Through it’s scent which is nothing but bliss
Cause the sweet smelling swamp is near to us
Yeah the sweet smelling swamp is dear to us
And I’ll live on its shores till the end of my days
Or go out in a fiery blaze
Yeah, I’ll go out in a fiery blaze
The aromas rise from the swamp with a swirl
As a young boy kisses a beautiful girl
The lilies float while the fat frogs croak
Upon the water so flat and smooth
Some say heaven is a place in the sky
But I know the truth and this aint no lie
It’s as clear as a jay bird’s song
Though its surface stretches green and long
Cause the sweet smelling swamp is near to us
Yeah the sweet smelling swamp is dear to us
It brings pleasure and joy and happiness
Through it’s scent which is nothing but bliss
Cause the sweet smelling swamp is near to us
Yeah the sweet smelling swamp is dear to us
And I’ll live on its shores till the end of my days
Or go out in a fiery blaze
Yeah, I’ll go out in a fiery blaze
